Advance Directives are legal instructions regarding your healthcare wishes. They help you have a say about how you want to be cared for if you cannot speak for yourself.
- Living Will: A document which directs your medical team on the types of life-prolonging medical treatments you prefer if your condition will not improve.
- Health Care Power of Attorney: A document which allows you to choose someone (your "agent") to make medical decisions for you if you become unable to make those decisions for yourself.
A team member will be available to review documents with you, and a notary will be present to help you sign and complete the forms. (Note: Advance Directives DO NOT address finances, property, or other legal advice.)
Please call 336-832-0688 for more information and to register for an advance directives appointment.
The Advance Directives Clinic will be held in the Cone Health Cancer Center at Wesley Long.
Registration is required.
